Natural Ways That May Help Tighten The Skin After A Weight Loss
For many people, losing weight is a huge achievement. However, along with the fats that have been burned is the problem of sagging skin which can be disappointing for some.
For those who want a firmer and better skin after a weight loss, there are some natural remedies that we can try.
Boost Water Intake
Moisturize
Moisturizing is a key part of helping to tighten and improve the appearance of our skin. It will also prevent fine lines and wrinkles from appearing. Look for products that contain aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E as they can help hydrate the skin, and increase collagen and elastin formation.Coconut oil is rich in vitamin E and can be applied to the skin. It also has antibacterial properties that can soothe the skin.
Massage The Area
One study showed that regular massage with a hand-operated oscillating massage tool amplified the positive effects of the anti-aging creams.
We don’t need to go to the spa all the time to get a massage. We can massage our own body with the help of essential oils like lavender. Alongside massage, we can also use a salt or sugar scrub to increase blood flow.
Limit UV Exposure
Build Muscle
Cosmetic physician Stanley Kovak, MD, of Kovak Dermatology and Laser Institute says:
“Strength training will expand muscles and tighten the skin in that area. We also know that high-impact exercises, such as aerobics, can rejuvenate the skin. This helps create elasticity, giving skin a more youthful appearance.”
